The National Club held the formal cheque presentation this week for September's Giving Back Gala in support of world micro-finance charity Opportunity International Canada, which provides education, micro-loans and entrepreneurial support primarily to women in the developing world. Thanks to the generosity of National Club members, sponsors and a matching donor we raised a total of almost $120,000 for their life-changing work, which is a record amount for The National Club.
Here we are at the cheque presentation with Opportunity International Canada's President Dale Patterson and Jannalee Anderson, VP Business Development.
